New 3rd Strike Empire Site

That explains a lot. But maybe you could use Sean throwing the basketball too, it could make na interesting “I”. Aku’s idea about rotating characters is pretty nice also.

I love your logo designs bro. I remade the logo and was inspired by your idea. You guys like it? I tried to make it appear as if it were ripping out of the background.

Which one do you guys prefer?

I like this one.

ah i will when i get back on my laptop. i was just watching vids on option select and im thinking about making the media section have a similar format like that but with TheShends youtube vids. Thoughts?

ooh i like fadc. i never used it before. well the thing is, the videos arent “around the web”. the only videos that people will be getting from searches are videos that we put in (ie. TheShend) and/or videos that are uploaded by users.

EDIT: Do you guys want to have a Pre-3sEmpire Launch staff tournament on GGPO? I think it would be pretty fun and if we record it (easy to do) we can have good videos/content for the launch of the side.

The logo did turn out pretty good, I would still like to see 1 in the same tradition as the official 3s logo so maybe we could have a very high quality job done between the 2 styles and decide which 1 is the best.

I also cant unfortunately do any GPPO, my connection isnt good enough for it. My connection 360 though is great though, Im a fairly good 3s player too so I wish I could include some stuff but thats alright. I was thinking that the promotional video could play to the opening song of 3s but showcase high level footage from japanese tournaments which will be easy to find off the shends chanel.

The Oro empire logo is really nice!

The Fight your rival system sounds interesting. I just want a bunch of matchup videos compiled into a character specific section. This would be very helpful to newer players so they don’t have to go digging thru low qual videos on youtube.

u gotta port foward in order to play on ggpo. we could always have the tournament on supercade, if one person has their ports foward. both ppl can play.

Both are really good, but I personally like the Oro one better. Another thing that I think that would be interesting is for the site to have some kind of symbol so that it can be used on 3sempire’s streams/videos. Sure we can use our normal logo for that, but that certainly is something that we should consider…

Oh, about the tournament, I don’t really see the point to make an online tournament at GGPO when 3SOE is just around the corner.

I’d rather just give criticism here and there when whoever is doing stuff is looking for it. To be honest I work in illustrator/photoshop/indesign all day and usually that’s not what I look forward to on my free time.

Change it to 3S Empire and you might be winnar. I say that because 3rd Empire is… well, not good. D:

Both are pretty good immo. I really like how you made them resembling the 3S original logo, but the first one is clearly the better choice since it’s so clean.

I love the way plasmas logo is shaping up, thats the theme id
like for the logo.

The website should be launched in a few days. I will give you guys a sneak peak soon and will give you a sneak peak of what I’m working on for the Beta release. Some ideas for the site.
[LIST]
[]Instead of having one video of the day, how about 3? Videos of the day. This would have more content to give during the first stages of the site’s life and it will have the overflowing video submissions a chance to be seen.
[
]Leaderboards be displayed on home page in a sidebar as well as in the Fight Your Rival page.
[]How to section be broken up into categories and then into pages so its easy to navigate in between.
[
]How to section be cleaned up, I want the how to section to have a vast amount of information but not unneeded information. Possibly removing some content that is just fluff and not information? Each character page can have categories which drop downs into specifics. Example: Ryu’s combos can be broken up into Hit Confirms, Block String, Super Art Combos
[]3rd Strike music that plays once entering the site but not automatically. User has option to listen to or not.
[
]Compressed home page, instead of having articles take up the big majority of the page. Compress this into a slider and box next to the slider which shows the latest news. The main aspects of the site is content, tournaments, and Fight Your Rival.
[]Player Cards that keep track of your w/l ratio, players fought, skill level, etc.
[
]Blog, this can serve as a progress of the website. To show what the plans are for the website, when expected updates to the site will be released as in revisions, etc.
[]Idea Submission, a place where users can submit ideas for the site. Don’t know how to set this up. I don’t want it to be a message board, but I would like it to be interactive so people don’t ask the same questions.
[
]Contact page which will have a contact form which will be emailed to a email that the staff has access to.
[/LIST]

To be honest, I would rather have the logo not be a copy cat of the original 3rd Strike logo. It would be much more professional to have a original but inspired logo from 3rd Strike.

Agreed w/ FADE. Idea Submission is a nice idea, but contacting the staff would be just as easy. For videos, articles, or other such things, a separate form would be fine.

I still really like the logo that’s currently on the site. Its really simple and such. I’ve no issue with something that’s more modeled after the 3rd Strike logo, but I don’t think the current one should be ruled out.

3 videos of the day is a fine idea, provided there’s enough content to keep it fresh yet quality, but I seriously doubt that’ll be an issue.

Everything else that Hombre posted sounds great. (b^_^)b

I know you guys are worried about the logo looking like the original 3s logo, but why not ask at the Capcom forums if we can use something like that? Maybe Seth or Sven can enlighten us on this matter, or even give us permission to use something similar.

Hi guys. I started screwing around for a couple of hours on a logo idea. There’s a lot more to come, but I want to get some responses from you all. C&Cs welcome. more to come soon…I need sleep. Everyone has great ideas. i’ll add some character art to this and some flame stuff in the BG like in the real logo.

Music will be played throughout the entire site. The player will be located on the bottom right.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned anything about the new logo I made.

I agree with the tags, we already are going to have a fadc/option selection style search for videos. however the videos of the day would be user submitted, but staff picked.

It looks good so far but its an exact copy of the original logo except vectored. It also appears to be reliant of a background behind it to give it good looks. The ideal logo should have a transparent background so it can be used for whatever application.

Well Im standing by my image for the 3s logo but since you guys feel strongly against it ill trust your guys vision,…majority rules in 3s empire lol.

By the way I have a friend who has a very talented web designer who agreed to help on the site and from what I heard he started working on some designs last night. Also good job black im very impressed by how quick things came along. Thanks so much again mate.

I agree with Fade. The logo is too SF4. It should be a 3s inspired logo. So far I think the best submision was the Oro logo that fade had.
